Learning by doing

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded person actually trying to handle daily life between studying and working in the social sector, which gives me not only lots of tight timetables, but also many experiences I wouldn´t want to miss.

To me, travelling means variety and adventure on the first hand. On the other hand it gives me the possibility to extend my own horizons. What I really like about it, is the opportunity to discover new things, the challenge when reaching my own limits, the required willingness to engage in land and people and the chance to build up a lasting connection to different places and people across the world .

I travel like Bear Grylls !
You are a hardcore traveler with a stomach of steel, and you'll eat a grub out of a tree long before you are even hungry. You can't remember the last time you showered, but you still look good.

PHILOSOPHY

Home is not where you come from, but where you feel understood.

Wenn schon sterben, dann ziehe ich die Straße vor,
irgendwo in der Steppe, mit dem schönsten Himmel über meinem Kopf und der letzten Befriedigung zumindest gewagt zu haben,was ich mir wünschte,
statt in einem Zimmer von dem Bedauern getötet zu werden, nicht genug Mut gehabt zu haben!

(Alexandra David-Neel 1969)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though being surrounded by some experienced couch surfers in private life,I haven´t had many opportunities to actually surf on somebody´s couch yet,except for my last journey this summer, which took me to Puerto Rico. There we were not only hosted by great people but I was also able to enjoy a roadtrip with other couch surfers. All the positive experiences I gathered through these 2 weeks finally confirmed my decision to register on couchsurfing.org.

Interests

Apart from topics relating to my Master Program (International Development) or professional life, I am really into music. In my leisure time I like to be around with friends or family and enjoy nature as well as all activities that pop up and sound interesting.
